Extension Question for lesson 9
Economics tells us that the cheaper an item the more items we will sell.
Maddi is on a committee that is trying to raise money for World Challenge 2011 by selling traditional Moroccan craft items. Maddi needs to raise at least $800 for the Challenge. At $20 each, 30 craft items will be sold. For every $1 reduction in the price of the items, 5 more will be sold. In what price range should they be sold?
Let the discount in the price of the craft items be x. The price of the items will be given by (20 − x). The number of items sold will be 30 + 5x. The income from sales will be given by the price × the number sold. Write an expression for the income.
Maddi needs to raise at least $800 for the Challenge. Therefore, the income must equal $800. Form a quadratic equation by expanding (20 − x)(30 + 5x) = 800 and rewriting the equation in standard form.
Factorise and solve the quadratic equation to find two prices between which the Moroccan craft items should be priced.
Examine the equation in more detail to find the price at which the income will be greatest, and find what this maximum income is equal to.
